Anthony excited by 'great power move'

Even before meeting with him, Knicks players like Phil Jackson's hiring to run their franchise.

"I'm a chess player, so that's a power move right there," Carmelo Anthony said. "So now we're going to see what's the next move. But that's a great power move."

The Knicks haven't officially announced it yet, holding off until a press conference Tuesday morning. But the 11-time champion as a coach was already the focus before and after the Knicks' 115-94 victory over Milwaukee on Saturday.
